Grains of Gold.

The remedy for wrongs ia TO forget them.
Self-conquest is the greatest of victories.
AS fire trieth iron, so temptation trieth man.
They who forgive most shall be most for
given.
Good manners are made up of petty sacri-
fees.
The best instruction is to practice what you
teach.
It becomes a wise man to try negotiation
before arms.
We are at best but stewards of what we
fairly call our own.
Better bend the neck promptly than to
bruise the forehead.
He only is well made man who has good
determination.
Happiness is wayside flower growing by
the highway Of usefulness.
Charity may cover multitude of sins, but
shat is not its regular business.
Activity is the presence of function-char,
scter is the rfcord of function.
What is experience? A poor little hut con>
structed from the ruins Of the palace of gold
and marble called our illusions.
One Christian duty cannot be exchanged
for another. and three virtues will not make
amends for one remaining vice.
1t is the mind which characterizes the
man; and it ig the mind Which should be DIS
encumbered Of all needless and pernicious
cares.
No man was ever 30 much deceived by an
other as by himself.
Yesterday suggests, TO- morrow promises, but
to-day accomplishes.
The integrity OF men is to be measured by
their conduct, not by their promises.
1t is far better to educate persons to keep
out Of sin than to convert them out.
God excludes no person from Heaven or
happiness simply on account of poverty.
To be lied about teaches US not to believe the
netenth of the bad things said against Others
The ideal of high-breeding is reached by
those who best fulfll their duty toward their
neighbor.
Love is Gods loaf; and this is that feeding
for which we are taught to pray, Give us this
day our daily bread
II thou would be justified, acknowledge
thy injustice; he that confesses his sin begins
bis journey toward salvation.
The continual repetition of moral precepts
which are accepted but not obeyed, tends to
lessen rather than to increase their effect
How can you learn self-knowledge? Try
to do your duty and you will soon find what
you are worth. What is your duty? The
exigency Of the day.
No one need be without an interest In life
while there is human soul to love, or body
to comfort, new fact 10 learn, or new
beauty to admire.
Never put much confidence in such as put
40 confidence in others. A man prone to
suspect evil is mostly looking in his neighbor
for what he sees in himself
There is no action of man in this lie that
Is not the beginning of so long q chain of
consequences, as that no human providence is
high enough to give us prospect to the end.

A Dear Little Schemer.

There was little daughter once,
whose feet vere-oh, so SMALL
That when the Christmas Eve came round,
they wouldn't de at all.
At least she said they wouldn't do,
\ and 30 she tried another's,
And folding her wee stocking up,
she slyly took her mothers
I'll pin this big one here, she said,
then sat before the fire,
Watching the supple, dancing flames,
and shadows darting by her,
Till silently she drifted of
to that queer land, you know,
OF Nowhere in particular
where sleepy children 90.
She never knew the tumult rare
that came upon the roof
She never heard the patter
of single reindeer hoof;
She never knew how Some One came
and looked his shrewd surprise
And the wee foot and the stocking
so different in sizeI
She only knew, when morning dawned,
that she was safe in bed.
It's Christmasi Hon and merrily
she raised her pretty head;
Then, wild with elee, she saw what dear
old Santa Claus had done,
And ran to tell the joyful news
TO each and every one:
Mamma! Papa! Please come and look,
A lovely doll, and alIr
And See how full the stocking is!
Mine WOULD have been too small.
| borrowed this foz Santa Claus.
II isn't fair, you know,
To make him wait forever
for little girl to grow

KILLED -Four AT ONE SHoT.-Probably
never before in any part of the country
where game so little abounds has there
been shot fired with the same effect,
under similar circumstances, as the one
which Andy Dixon, of Glssscock county,
made few days ago. Dixon killed four
squirrels at one shot and wounded the
fifth. The squirrels were out on the
limb Of tree, and not in a nest or hol-
low. A negro named Warren Davis
day or two ago killed four squirrels at
one shot Three of them were young
ones, and they were trying to take 3
hickory nut from the mouth Ct an old
"frisky tail."-Savannah News.

Sherman's soldiers killed all but one old

more than quarter of a century. He

AND now comes a proposition from
the Canadian Senate to place Ameri-
can fishermen, when fishing in the
territorial waters OF the Dominion,
under the jurisdiction of the laws OF
Canada controlling the fisheries. The
absurdity OF this proposition must be
apparent. The contention with us is
that there are no territorial" waters
within three marine miles of the
land, and that outside of that line all
vessels are under the jurisdiction q
their flag. American fishermen do not
want to pursue their calling inside the
three marine miles, but they protest
against the construction wE'cn .he
Canadians wish to place upoff !ne
territorial waters," by extending
the line which encloses them SO as to
reach from headland to headland,
thus giving the Dominion jurisdiction
over great arms of the sea which we
contend are the common property OF
nations. II the Dominion will agree
to our construction OF the treaty of
1918, and accept the line of its juris-
diction as covering three marine
miles from the land, following its
meanderipgs, then we shall be quite
Indifferent to its proposition to bring
American fishermen under the juris-
diction of its laws. We catch our
fish outside OF that line.

ard sinks, where 1t testers and poi

act a aterrible penalty for our disregard
OF the laws OF hygiene. No city is
better situated for easy drainage than
Los Angeles. Unless we carry out
successfully some we'll approved
plan, we may soon find that even our
metchless climate will not preserve
usfrom pestilence. And our neglect
like the star in the Apocalypse which
descended upon the sweet waters oi
the lakes and rivers and turned
them into wormwood-may cause oul
fostering cesspools to pollute the all

combination of noxious vapors.

SENATOR STANFORD is desirous OF
securing site somewhere near the
lower center of the city for local
railroad depot. He thinks that
would so far relieve the present
depot of the Southern Pacific
as to enable the company to make
San Fernando street less dangerous
to travel. At the present value of
lands in this city, it will cost mint
of money to secure space enough any
where in the lower center of the city
for such depot as the local traffic
will require. But the cost
ought to be secondary con-
sideration with them I; for the benefits
would be incalculable, and the neces-
sites are urgent for such an improve
ment.

WE have no doubt that the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe- Company
will settle the difficulty about the
switches on First street satisfactorily
to our people. They will either build
an elevated road to the bridge for the
use of vehicles, or they will do their
switching inside OF their own grounds.
The fact is, travelled streets should
not be used in common by railroads
and vehicles. The city is becoming
too populous to permit trains to be
run through its built up streets. A
line Of roadway could be set apart
skirting the river to be used by all
the railroads, and then all cross
streets could be bridged over the
tracks. This would insure safety
from accident, and make it also less
hazardous for the companies, who
are liable at any time to be east in
heavy damages for mishaps which,
under the present circumstances, are
hardly avoidable.

OUR SEWER SYSTEM.
The Sewage of tbe city should
he Utilized as q Fertilizer.

EDITORS HERALD:-The question of
the disposition CT the city sewage is en-
gaging the attention of thoughtful citi.
zens, for it is now a recognized fact that
densely populated localities are liable to
epidemics in proportion, as they are un-
able to rid themselves of the secretions
and filth that naturally accumulate. In
this connection we call attention to- the
fac that the railroad surveys made
ua Wilmington road was located
show tns. le. is a difference of level
between the intersection of Commercial
and Alameda streets (n?ar Lankershim's
MILL and tide water of 240 feet, and
that consequently the discharging of the
sewage matter into the ocean is merely
q question of engineering skill and coin.
But it may well be asked why convey
ii to the ocean, if it can be used as q
fertilizer, and if the people living south
of the city will take it and use it as
such? Reference to resolo tion 209 OF
the City Council (Robinson's compila-
tion) shows that the South Side Irriga-
tion Company has franchise to take
the sewage matter at point near the
of the south boundary of
lis city and San Pedro. said Company
giving bond of $4,000 to take end dis.
pose Of the same, and guaranteeing the
construction Of the necessary bitches,
etc., to enable it SO to do. Reference is
had to this resolution simply to show
that the sewage matter is too valuable
to waste, even if in order so to do it
were not necessary to construct main
sewer, say fifteen miles long.
As is we'll known the city makes little
Or no use Of the winter flow of the river.
In fact as population increases, the
and orange orchards within
the city will be uprooted in order to
make way for the habitations OF men.
